CNJ factoid: "Jan. 1, 1953 Central Railroad Company of Pennsylvania restores all property except the
Easton & Western Branch to the CNJ and becomes its Pennsylvania Division,
after the U.S. Supreme Court defeats a move to seek exemption from high
New Jersey taxes."
I gleaned this from http://www.prrths.com/newprr_files/Hagley/PRR1953.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

During the time it was the Central Railroad Company of Pennsylvania, reporting marks "CRP," were any locomotives transferred from the CNJ to the CRP, or did they all remain CNJ?
